Struggle in Russia

Not only the nobles of Kiev were stunned, but also Count Shuvalov and Grand Duke Constantine, Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand Duke Mikhail were also inexplicably surprised. To be honest, they never expected the result It turned out to be like this, and they couldn't think of such a script even if they had three heads.

"What's going on? Why did the count suddenly come to such a conclusion?" Grand Duke Mikhail asked Grand Duke Nicholas with an unhappy face.

Grand Duke Nicholas certainly knew why his younger brother was unhappy. If the case ended here, Grand Duke Mikhail would have nothing to do. For him, he still hopes to punish Grand Duke Constantine to death, so as to show his courtesy to Crown Prince Alexander.

However, how did Count Rostovtsev's conclusion stand? If the case is closed here, Grand Duke Constantine will be criticized at most, and he will not even lose a hair. What makes him show his gallantry?

Grand Duke Nicholas was happy to see the joke. Anyway, he could see that this little brother is a completely careless master. He is even worse than Grand Duke Constantine. Things can be dragged and dragged, and can be saved!

Anyway, Grand Duke Nicholas secretly made up his mind that there will be similar things next time, and he will not stand with this guy no matter what.

So he just replied calmly: "I don't know too well, why don't you ask the count?"

Grand Duke Mikhail is naturally going to ask. After all, he is also a deputy imperial envoy. If such a big case comes to a conclusion, it will come to a conclusion. Have you notified him? Have you consulted his opinion?

It's just that he didn't want to go alone. He meant to take Grand Duke Nicholas with him. After all, there were two deputy imperial envoys. If they went together to show their attitude, the strength would be different.

But according to Grand Duke Nicholas, he doesn't seem to want to go at all?

Grand Duke Mikhail looked at Grand Duke Nicholas suspiciously and said, "It's not suitable for me to go alone. I think it's better for us to go together. At least the count will pay more attention!"

Grand Duke Mikhail originally thought that Grand Duke Nicholas was still ignorant of the state, so he hinted again, but who knew that Grand Duke Nicholas was not confused about the situation, nor did he not understand the hint, but Not interested at all.

"It's not necessary," Grand Duke Nicholas rebuffed immediately, "If you think you have any questions, you can ask them yourself. I'm not particularly interested in it!"

Grand Duke Mikhail was stunned and looked at Grand Duke Nicholas in disbelief. He felt that the old man had changed his mind.

What about the united front that Nima said?

Immediately Grand Duke Mikhail became a little anxious, and said in a hurry: "Nicholas, the purpose of my father's sending us here is to supervise Count Rostovtsev to investigate the case. Now the case is closed if it is unclear, how can we Can just sit back and watch! If we go back so irresponsibly, father will blame us for our lack of work!"

If it was before, Grand Duke Nicholas might have been bluffed by Grand Duke Mikhail, but now he sees it too clearly, knowing that Grand Duke Mikhail is not willing to let it go, and wants to persuade him to do things together. And judging by that posture, he was going to make him stand at the front as cannon fodder. Do you think he could have fallen for such a trick?

"I think the case is not bad!" Grand Duke Nicholas immediately showed his cards. "There is no major problem. I am satisfied with all aspects. I believe my father will be satisfied too. If you think there is something wrong, then you can check it out." Well! If the problem is found, then I will join you in speaking to the Earl!"

Grand Duke Mikhail was so stunned that he could not speak. He looked at Grand Duke Nicholas angrily, wishing to grab him by the hem and scold him, but when he was about to start scolding, he found that Nicholas Grand Duke La is completely indifferent.

Obviously, even if he yelled at him, it was of no use. The other party was determined not to go with him. And Grand Duke Mikhail knew very well that without the support of Grand Duke Nicholas, he alone would not be able to challenge Count Rostovtsev.

After all, he was only a deputy imperial envoy, and he was one of the deputy imperial envoys. According to Nicholas I, only when Grand Duke Nicholas agreed with him could he have some restraint on Count Rostovtsev.

But now that Grand Duke Nicholas is not cooperating, he can hardly even tickle Count Rostovtsev with his own strength.

What's more, Grand Duke Mikhail knew very well that the end of the case was completely acceptable to Grand Duke Constantine and Count Shuvalov. For the two of them, although they failed to bring down each other, they didn't get much dirty water on themselves, so they could accept such a result.

On the contrary, if they continued to investigate, they might lose their reputation or die. Neither of them could afford such a result. Therefore, Count Rostovtsev announced that the case was closed, and they would never have any objections.

It is conceivable that if Grand Duke Mikhail wants to continue to do things, he may be attacked by these two unanimously. Just imagine, Grand Duke Mikhail and Count Rostovtsev, Grand Duke Constantine, and Shuva at the same time Earl Love has declared war, do you think he has a chance of winning?

This is also the key reason why Grand Duke Mikhail tried his best to persuade Grand Duke Nicholas to take action together. His strength alone is too weak, and he is not the opponent of these three big shots at all.

But now Grand Duke Nicholas categorically says no, Grand Duke Mikhail has nothing to do, and he doesn’t even dare to speak harshly to Grand Duke Nicholas, because he is very worried that if he does so, Nicholas will be punished. Grand Duke Gula cornered Count Rostovtsev. At that time, he would have to face encirclement and suppression from all sides, let alone a way out.

So Grand Duke Mikhail could only leave indignantly, unable to even speak harshly, which shows how frustrated and embarrassed he is now.

Of course, he wouldn't stop there, although he couldn't openly question and overturn Count Rostovtsev's conclusions. But he will still do the disgusting things that should be snitched. After returning to the office, he immediately wrote a long letter to Nicholas I, sternly accusing him of evil, hoping that his old father in St. Petersburg could uphold justice for him.

It's just that this is just wishful thinking, how could Count Rostovtsev give him the opportunity to bite people. Before announcing the closure of the case, he had already informed Nicholas I of the real situation of the case in detail. Although he did not say why he did not announce the truth, he knew that Nicholas I who was far away in St. Petersburg would definitely be satisfied with his disposal method……
